Prepare the vegetables

Plan on an average of ten pieces per person, adding plenty of onions.

Empty the onions

Peel the onions and carefully scoop them out, without breaking the outer layers. Finely chop the inner parts and set them aside; you'll need them to make the tomato sauce base. Finish peeling them out when the casings are hollow but still intact and sturdy enough to hold the filling.

Empty the other vegetables

Clean the bell peppers removing the seeds and internal filaments; also empty the potatoes. Cut the zucchini Cut the tomatoes into four-centimeter pieces and scoop out the center, leaving sufficiently thick walls. Finally, prepare the tomatoes, carefully opening and emptying them, so as to obtain intact containers for the filling.

6

Fry them zucchini

5 min

Flour them zucchini Stuffed and fry them in hot oil for five minutes. Carefully turn them over to brown the surface evenly: they should be lightly browned and still firm in texture, as they'll finish cooking in the oven.

7

Fry the other vegetables

Fry the onions, potatoes and bell peppers ripieni in olio bollente. Scolali quando risultano leggermente dorati all'esterno e ancora integri. Mantieni una frittura controllata, sufficiente a creare una superficie colorita senza cuocere completamente il ripieno.

8

Disponi nella baking pan

Versa un po' d'olio in un earthenware pot o in una baking dish e aggiungi un tablespoon di lard. Sistema tutti gli ortaggi giĂ  fritti e unisci i pomodori ripieni, ancora da cuocere in forno. Distribuiscili in uno strato ordinato, evitando di schiacciarli.

9

Aggiungi la salsa

Prepara la salsa di pomodoro utilizzando la parte interna tritata delle cipolle, quindi versala sugli ortaggi disposti nel shallow pan. La salsa deve distribuirsi tra i pezzi e ricoprirli parzialmente, creando un fondo umido ma non eccessivamente liquido per la cottura.

10

Cuoci in forno

40 min

Inforna a (32°F) 160 °C e cuoci per quaranta minuti. Controlla il piatto quando la salsa appare ben amalgamata e gli ortaggi risultano morbidi alla punta di un coltello, mantenendo però la forma. Il ripieno deve essere completamente cotto e la superficie leggermente colorita.

11

Servi nel shallow pan

Porta in tavola gli ortaggi ripieni nello stesso earthenware pot o nella baking dish di cottura. Servili caldi, lasciando che la salsa accompagni ogni porzione e che i diversi ortaggi conservino consistenze riconoscibili.

Chef's Tips

La redazione consiglia di friggere separatamente ogni ortaggio e di mantenerne la polpa integra, così la farcia resta contenuta e la cottura in forno rende gli involucri morbidi senza sfaldarli.
